Better communication, easier work

Lending operations continue, communication is facilitated

At the Zentral- und Landesbibliothek Berlin (ZLB), 15 contactless VoiceBridge intercom systems of the "Standard and Bluetooth" model from WHD were installed. At consulting and service desks, a VoiceBridge intercom is now mounted on both the inside and outside of the sneeze guards. In addition, employees have the option of moving freely in the room with the Bluetooth headset during conversations. At both ZLB locations, the Berlin City Library (BStB) in Mitte and the America Memorial Library (AGB) in Kreuzberg, operations have continued since the end of February with restrictions due to Corona protection measures. FFP2 masks, which offer better protection, are now mandatory when visiting the libraries.

"The conversation atmosphere between users and ZLB staff is more relaxed and friendly because you can maintain your natural tone of voice and normal volume. This makes our service less strenuous. Complicated words are also better understood, and there are fewer misunderstandings. This feedback particularly refers to use with a headset. But this effect also exists with the two intercom units."

VoiceBridge ensures more relaxed working

Since the resumption of lending operations, staff and visitors have reported unclear communication, many inquiries, and comprehension problems. Visitors also repeatedly walked around the side of the acrylic glass walls to make themselves better understood. The contactless VoiceBridge intercom system has now helped solve this problem, and the feedback has been consistently positive.
